CADES RED LETTER DAY ; A ATTRACTS BIG CROWD.; 4 MOST ENJOYABLE OCCASION MANY 1 H SPEECHES MADE-AN EXCELLENT s H DINNER AND A GOOD TIME. ^ The thriving and enterprising i KS municipality of Cades scored a 1 great victory in the war of prog- * % ? * _i 1 Iress Tuesday, and the attend- <ant celebration will long- be a pleasing: remembrance to the assembled throDg whose wel- c come presence graced the gala r occasion. "Red Letter Day" it t was .called, and indeed the s , event should be remembered in ? flaming capitals not one red t letter, but a whole btinch arranged so as to spell PROG- t R E S S. i It is no small undertaking for ? a town the size of Cades to entertain in a material way a f crowd estimated at from 750 to t 1000 people all of whom seem- r <ed to be blessed with good ap- i petites, whetted to a keen edge I by the mental pabulum that was served In unstinted ? measure before dinner and even * after everybody should have t been too full for utterance or 1 attention thereto. c The main features of the occasion were the number of speak- ? Hk ers present and the bountiful t HH dinner provided by the hospita- 1 fhp rnmmnnitv.it inn uit v* -ww . BR For another reason not the least I potent it was a pleasure to be e there, viz., it was the largest KB crowd of nativeWiiliamsburgers a that we have seen foregathered c in many years and it is no idle t compliment to say that the pro- * moters of the affair should feel a proud of the interest they aroused by their own public r spirit and enthusiasm. And the t best of good humor prevailed j throughout the day. Dame Na- I ture herself lent her smiles and ^ gocd cheer and good will went i hand in hand. Even the rival J candidates "lowered their vis- 1 ors," as though in a Castle Hall * of Friendship,Charity and Benevolence. ? ^ The exercises were opened * with prayer by Rev W P Gause, * followed by a short and pithy I welcome by the popular young ' mayor, Mr B W McElveen, who s HE spoke as follows: < RH "Mr Chairman, Ladies and BV Gentlemen: As intendant of r W the town of Cades, it affords me < Y ' much pleasure in her behalf to welcome you one and all on -j this auspicious occasion." ?.

It was evident hat MrStoll had the crowd with j lim. It ma}* not be amiss to! tate here that when Mr Stoll vas called upon to speak his >pponents were not present and ie had no reason to expect their ater arrival, otherwise he vould have spoken wheif they lid. Both of them, Messrs J B dcLaughlin of Bishopville and \ B Stuckey of Sumter came in )n the 12 o'clock train and nade their speeches in the aferuoon. These gentlemen preiented their claims eloquently ind received courteous atten* :ion. R T, Hirsch.Eso. of the Kiners ;ree bar, was introduced and nade a very graceful speech ippropriate to the occasion. Hon P A Hodges, a candidate or congress from the 6th disrict, was then presented and nade a good impression judgng by the close attention given, junctuated with applause. Mr Murchison, another congressional aspirant, followed # md made a really good speech, >ut unfortunately spoke in so ow a tone that many failed to :atch his remarks. Following Mr Murchison came i Mr Alexander, a vinegar salesnan, who, it was announced, 'furnished the vinegar for the >arbecue". His happy little talk ^leased the audience,who seem:d very friendly toward him. Hon J W Ragsdale was next mnounced as a candidate for :ongress and while he did not ouch on politics his speech was 1 rnlfn/l 4-r\ CI y YYCll auiwtu wv kiiw uvvujivu rnd elicited liberal applause. Hon J E Ellerbe, the present epresentative in congress from he 6th district,was called upon ust before dinner and his jokes jutthe crowd in a good humor, vhile the points he scored a-ere mpressed upon bis hearers. Mr 211erbe's remarks were entirely ion-political and were enjoyed >y his audience. After dinner the last cons sessional candidate, Hon J R toggeshall,presented his claims or the honor of representing the >eopleof this district.His speech ras earnest, forceful and impresive. Mr Coggeshall has already i good following in this county tnd his quiet, unassuming deneanor gains him friends when* jver he goes.

Near the depot Mr 0 G Carsten showed us a held of corn, six acres, which although but seven weeks old, (following a bean crop) is the finest we have seen this year. Mr Carsten thinks it will make 60 bushels ^to the acre and we deem this a conserv- , ative estimate. Among our other friends we had the pleasure of meeting Dr Haselden, Messrs H L Poston, Williamson, Eaddy, Sauls, McElveen, May, Brown, Willougbby McFadden, Col J P Epps and many others, whose kimdly greeting gav^'us sincere pleasure. The meeting was presided over by Mr J H Brown, than whom no more graceful presiding officer could have bee n selected.
